Now that I look at these photos, I can see that my city-girl habit of keeping my wallet in my front pocket does not do wonders for my line. (Yes, that's my wallet, I'm not "just happy to see you," so to speak ;^). ) Geez, for a sex positivefeminist I don't seem terribly concerned about looking like a porn star, do I? Oh well, I gotta be me! And besides, tech geeks rule!!! :D

Oh, yay!! You've done it!! Did it go well?? That is one HUGE presentation screen. You look like a proper geek in the pictures, I bet the other geeks were drooling. And yeah, the billfold in the front pocket thing cracks me up.

Yep, it's done -- and I'm glad because (as you know) I've been stressing about this for a while. ;^)

It went quite well. I said everything I wanted to say within the allotted time, and I didn't get stuck or stumble on anything. (Though I had a few adventures with the slide advance button on my laser pointer not working...). Now I'm starting to look forward to doing another talk sometime! :D

LOL, you definitely dressed the part. Was there a geek dress code? I imagine there must have been, else you surely would have worn the belly-baring blouse and floaty circle skirt you wore for a Sunday stroll in Bordeaux.

Just to be clear, I meant the 'looking like a geek' comment as a compliment. When in the presence of a whole congress of geeks, it's totally hawt to look like the best of them, thus making them drool. Yeah?
